Cyber Operations: Building, Defending, and Attacking Modern Computer Networks
Book information
Description
Know how to set up, defend, and attack computer networks with this revised and expanded second edition. You will learn to configure your network from the ground up, beginning with developing your own private virtual test environment, then setting up your own DNS server and AD infrastructure. You will continue with more advanced network services, web servers, and database servers and you will end by building your own web applications servers, including WordPress and Joomla!. Systems from 2011 through 2017 are covered, including Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2016 as well as a range of Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, CentOS, Mint, and OpenSUSE. Key defensive techniques are integrated throughout and you will develop situational awareness of your network and build a complete defensive infrastructure, including log servers, network firewalls, web application firewalls, and intrusion detection systems. Of course, you cannot truly understand how to defend a network if you do not know how to attack it, so you will attack your test systems in a variety of ways. You will learn about Metasploit, browser attacks, privilege escalation, pass-the-hash attacks, malware, man-in-the-middle attacks, database attacks, and web application attacks. What You’ll Learn • Construct a testing laboratory to experiment with software and attack techniques • Build realistic networks that include active directory, file servers, databases, web servers, and web applications such as WordPress and Joomla! • Manage networks remotely with tools, including PowerShell, WMI, and WinRM • Use offensive tools such as Metasploit, Mimikatz, Veil, Burp Suite, and John the Ripper • Exploit networks starting from malware and initial intrusion to privilege escalation through password cracking and persistence mechanisms • Defend networks by developing operational awareness using auditd and Sysmon to analyze logs, and deploying defensive tools such as the Snort intrusion detection system, IPFire firewalls, and ModSecurity web application firewalls Who This Book Is For This study guide is intended for everyone involved in or interested in cybersecurity operations (e.g., cybersecurity professionals, IT professionals, business professionals, and students) Front Matter ....Pages i-xxxi System Setup (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 1-49 Basic Offense (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 51-120 Operational Awareness (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 121-164 DNS and BIND (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 165-211 Scanning the Network (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 213-234 Active Directory (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 235-275 Remote Windows Management (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 277-345 Attacking the Windows Domain (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 347-417 Privilege Escalation in Linux (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 419-453 Logging (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 455-505 Malware and Persistence (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 507-566 Defending the Windows Domain (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 567-648 Network Services (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 649-720 Apache and ModSecurity (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 721-788 IIS and ModSecurity (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 789-819 Web Attacks (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 821-856 Firewalls (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 857-896 MySQL and MariaDB (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 897-945 Snort (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 947-982 PHP (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 983-1037 Web Applications (Mike O’Leary)....Pages 1039-1101 Back Matter ....Pages 1103-1134

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
